GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Diatribe, a non-profit using performance arts to raise awareness for social issues, is holding a Facebook livestream on Wednesday to speak about a new community project.

The 1 p.m. conference will allow residents in the Garfield Park neighborhood to speak on misconceptions about where they live.

The group described their new venture as a people of color, LGBTQ+ and youth-led project. They plan to make the 49507 area a place of resilience and beauty, particularly featuring Black and Brown artists in their life-sized murals this year.

At the meeting, the Diatribe will share information gathered from 5 different community listening sessions.
